Akkar Explosion - Lebanon Fund

An oil tanker explosion killed 22 people in the impoverished northern Lebanese governorate of Akkar, the Lebanese Red Cross said. The organisation said 79 people were injured in the incident. More people are feared dead. The explosion happened at a time of widespread fuel shortages, when much of the country is without electricity and long queues form at petrol stations. Fund will support disaster relief to the families - specifically burn victims that are in need of medical supplies, protective gear and pain killers. Ahla Fawda are already donating to the main 2 hospitals - Geitawii & Salam that are treating the injured.
